AB  - BACKGROUND: Internal review highlighted teaching patient safety and communication skills associated with clinical procedures. Both topics feature in the General Medical Council’s document on graduate outcomes. Challenges included developing an educational intervention within a limited budget, large student cohorts (~380) and an already full curriculum.We aimed to provide opportunities for students to:  Reflect on progress towardsmeeting the GMC’s expectations  Observe and discuss ways to manage challenging patient safety and communication scenariosRESEARCH QUESTION: To what extent does the session raise students’ awareness of their responsibilities in patient safety and communication and provide practical strategies to manage relevant clinical scenarios?METHODS: The 3-hour session consisted of readings, reviews, observations and discussions, grounded in students’ experiences of clinical procedures. All activities focused on patient safety and communication. Using three hybrid simulations (where an actor is ‘seamlessly connected’ to simulation kit), students rated the degree to which they met learning objectives and the usefulness of educational methods.RESULTS: Eight sessions with group sizes of 25 to 47 students, 4 tutors and 3 actors were run. The response rate was 64%. Table 1 shows mean ratings of the degree to which students met learning objectives. The simulation activities had the highestmeanrating of educational methods (5.2, SD 1.1). Recommendations from students included better alignment of the session with timing of clinical attachments, making explicit links with other curriculum activities, highlighting professionalism, providing scenarios that deal with managing patients whoselanguage is different to their own, who are experiencing strong emotions and scenarios that demonstrate interactions with clinicians from other cultures.CONCLUSIONS: The session was highly valued and raised awareness of students’ respons
